We’re not. The text substitutions that you are seeing are disabled in the default configuration as shipped. You have either manually activated the “fun” filter which is clearly labeled “Text replacements for subversive browsing fun!” or you are using an older Privoxy version and have implicitly activated it by choosing the “Advanced” profile in the web-based editor. Please upgrade.
